The Cherished Old Time - C195
Yu Meng looked at Tan Yubai, her heart racing a hundred times. She had thought of many things that could happen after Tan Yubai came out of prison and reunited with him.
“I’m fine, but Shang Hui suffered heavy injuries in order to save me, quickly save him!”
“Yes.”
“What are you going to do? Come home with me, take a good bath, eat and rest. ”
“But …”
“I promise, I won’t let anything happen to Shang Hui.”
In the end, Yu Meng hesitated, but she really didn’t have any strength left.
Tan Yubai got on the car, carried Yu Meng and told the driver to go home.
Yu Meng laid her head on Tan Yubai’s chest. That familiar warm feeling made her want to cry.
She raised her head and looked at his pitch-black pupils. She slowly asked, “Why have you come?”
“When I came out of prison, you didn’t come to pick me up, so I couldn’t contact you. After I understood the recent change in the Shang clan, I have been secretly monitoring Shang Duo.”
Yu Meng nodded.
“Who were the two men behind you just now?”
From the looks of it, they were not mediocre ordinary people. Regardless of whether it was their aura or their temperament, they did not seem like ordinary people who would follow behind others.
So when Yu Meng asked this question out of curiosity, Tan Yubai only mentioned it lightly.
“A former friend.”
Yu Meng no longer asked.
After a long while, she rested her head on his chest and suddenly sighed.
“You know, I almost died.”
Tan Yubai’s arms, which were holding Yu Meng, tightened as he took a deep breath. After pausing for a good while, he tried his best to not sound too agitated, so he asked her.
“What’s going on?”
With her head in Tan Yubai’s embrace, Yu Meng told the whole story to Tan Yubai.
After a long while, Tan Yubai let out a heavy sigh. He didn’t know how to describe the feeling he was feeling right now.
“Are you already willing to risk your life for Shang Hui?”
Yu Meng felt wronged, “I didn’t know that Shang Wujin was such a terrifying person. I thought he would at most sue me in court and pin me with the crime of commercial fraud, but I didn’t think that he would directly take my life.”
The reason why Tan Yubai allowed Yu Meng to do it by herself was because he hoped that she would grow up. But now, he had still made the mistake of making her do it in the simplest possible way.
“Can’t you use your brain? What did the Shang family rely on to survive for so many years? Even if you don’t think of it, at the very least go and investigate about the Shang Clan’s matters and influence over the years, what did Su Yu leave them for? Why couldn’t he ask Shang Wujin how crazy he was? Why didn’t you use your brain before you did something? Don’t you know to prepare before taking the risk? ”
Tan Yubai was truly angry, the more he spoke the angrier he got, his voice also becoming colder and harsher. He had clearly calculated everything, but he never expected that Yu Meng would actually be unable to let Shang Hui go.
Being shouted at like that by Tan Yubai, Yu Meng did not dare say a word. She felt wronged in her heart.
She quietly escaped from Tan Yubai’s embrace and leaned against the window, turning her head to look out.
Tan Yubai’s embrace was suddenly empty, and was immediately filled with unease.
“I’m sorry.” Tan Yubai reached out and wrapped his arms around Yu Meng’s waist, pulling her into an embrace once more. However, she kept her head down and refused to look at him.
“Are you angry?”
Yu Meng remained silent.
“It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have been so fierce.”
Yu Meng remained silent.
“But you can also help me think about it. My beloved almost lost her life, how can I not be angry?”
Yu Meng finally raised her head and looked at him with melancholy.
He bent down to place a kiss on her forehead. With a gentle smile, he said gently, “Blame me for not being able to protect you.”
Yu Meng pouted, as if she was in a bad mood. After sniffing for a while, she complained in a childish voice, “It’s all your fault. It’s all your fault!”
The entire world only had Tan Yubai for her acting so coquettishly.
He held her in his arms. Her smile, her grievances, everything that had happened was reflected in his eyes. It made his heart sink.
“Alright, alright, alright…” Tan Yubai’s voice was filled with affection, as he hugged Yu Meng, and exerted even more strength, “Blame me for blaming myself for everything.”
As long as she was safe and sound in his arms, he was not afraid of anything.
It had been a long time since Yu Meng had come home. During this time, her life outside was like a wanderer. She could not eat well, nor could she wear warm clothes. She also could not sleep at all.
“Should I take a bath or eat first?” Tan Yubai hugged Yu Meng and changed into her slippers at the profound entrance as he leaned over to smell her hair.
“I’m so smelly, let’s take a bath first.”
Tan Yubai brought Yu Meng into the bathroom. Under the dim yellow light of the lamp, the woman’s porcelain white skin was revealed little by little.
Tan Yubai looked down her body and saw that her thighs were full of red packets, some of them had even been torn by her.
“Why are there so many bags?”
“It was bitten by a mosquito.” When she mentioned it, Yu Meng could not help but scratch it again, “Earlier, when we were hiding at the factory with Shang Hui, there were a lot of weeds and mosquitoes.”
Tan Yubai received a pot of boiling water, which was still hot and smoking, and threw the towel inside. Then, he took out the towel with his bare hands and wrung it dry.
“Hey!” You’re not hot! ” Yu Meng saw that Tan Yubai’s hands were red from the heat, and shouted out in pain.
Tan Yubai immediately placed the hot towel on top of the red packet on Yu Meng’s leg. The burning hot air seeped into his itchy skin, and suddenly the pain made his feel very comfortable.
After covering it for a while, it actually stopped itching.
“This will promote the circulation of the blood, making the package easier to remove.”
Yu Meng looked at Tan Yubai and giggled.
“How do you know everything?”
Tan Yubai bent over and carried Yu Meng into the bathtub that was filled with water. Squatting at the side, he helped her wash her body while saying helplessly: “There’s no other way.
Yu Meng was half-submerged in hot water, the warm atmosphere made her want to fall asleep, it was as though as long as Tan Yubai was around, she would not have to learn anything, she would not need to do anything, she only needed to be protected by him.
Tan Yubai helped Yu Meng wipe the bubbles on her back, and when he stood beside her, he realised that she was already sleeping with her head on the side. Under the dense fog, was the face that he had been thinking about day and night.
After Tan Yubai helped Yu Meng wash up, he dried her body and placed her on the bed. After looking at her for a while longer, he reluctantly went to the kitchen to get some food for Yu Meng.
Even if it was a family, he would still be reluctant to miss a single glance at her.
Tan Yubai thought that he had done wrong this time. From today onwards, he would never force her to grow up again, she only had to obediently stay by his side and live a happy life.
When Yu Meng woke up, it was a sunny day. She was sleeping soundly, and she didn’t even have a chance to dream. Opening her eyes, she saw Tan Yubai lying beside her. That satisfaction could almost fly out from her heart.
She crawled into Tan Yubai’s embrace, sticking close to his chest as she quietly listened to his heartbeat.
If only time had stopped at this moment, it would have been better not to go forward.
Tan Yubai also woke up, he opened his arms and held Yu Meng in his arms, his chin pressed against her forehead.
“I’m hungry.” Yu Meng blinked her eyes as she curled her eyelashes to the point that it could even touch Tan Yubai’s neck.
“Call me husband.” Tan Yubai hugged Yu Meng without moving.
Yu Meng sweetly said, “Husband, I’m hungry.”
“Good boy.”
Tan Yubai sat up, the muscles on his bare upper body tensed up, the lines on his lower abdomen flowed smoothly and perfectly.
“Hubby, you’re so beautiful.”
Tan Yubai got off the bed, took a nightgown from the cabinet and walked over to Yu Meng’s side.
“Get up and get dressed.”
Yu Meng lazily came out from under the blanket like a lump of rubber. She was grabbed by Tan Yubai and put on a pajamas and placed on the ground.
Tan Yubai could not help but sigh.
“What, can’t you take care of yourself when you live with me?”
Yu Meng nodded shamelessly.
“Hmm, I can’t even put on my clothes anymore.”
She was like a little kitten, unwilling to leave Tan Yubai’s side for a moment.
“Help me brush my teeth and wash my face.” She blinked at him. “I can’t take care of myself.”
Tan Yubai looked down at him.
“Call me husband.”
Yu Meng giggled, “Hubby hubby ~”
This’ husband ‘was simply enough to make one’s bones go limp.
Tan Yubai replied softly. He lifted her up with one arm and carried her in his arms as he walked towards the washroom.
She stood in front of him, and the two of them looked at each other in the mirror. Tan Yubai happened to be taller than Yu Meng by a head, and the two of them, one in front and one behind, were able to see his face in the mirror.
Tan Yubai gazed into the mirror, and could not help but lean over and kiss her.
Squeezing toothpaste, the man wrapped his long arms around Yu-Meng’s body, ran water from the sink, then turned her over and carefully and patiently brushed her teeth.
Tan Yubai suddenly understood that the reason why he was so impatient towards others was probably because ever since all these years ago, all his patience had been spent on this woman.
Brushing her teeth and washing her face, she casually narrowed her eyes and acted like a spoiled child. He would be willing to help her for the rest of her life.
“Alright. Tan Yubai patted Yu Meng’s bottom: “Let’s go to the living room and watch TV. I’ll go heat up the food we had last night.”
Last night, Tan Yubai personally cooked a lot of food that Yu Meng loved to eat. Unfortunately, that girl couldn’t sleep at all and slept all the way until the afternoon of the second day.
So he kept the food in the fridge until it was hot today.
Tan Yubai’s body seemed to never have the kind of tyranny and arrogance that only wealthy people would have. No matter what kind of environment he was in, he would always remain the same, the indifferent, estranged, and sad man.
Even though his family was never-ending, he still liked to cook for his wife and take care of his own home.
He didn’t like forcing others to do things that they didn’t want to do. He always had a casual attitude towards everything, but it was different for Yu Meng. Perhaps it was because of his domineering possessiveness. All these years, he had only given Yu Meng one person.
In this world, there was no one that was worth him paying a price for.
Yu Meng curled up on the sofa and watched the TV. The news that appeared on the television, whether it was the business channel or the entertainment channel, was all the same.
The Shang family.
How many people in this family that stood at the peak of the shopping mall and the entertainment market were waiting to see their joke, and how many people looked forward to the collapse of this building.
However, the news on the TV was only the tip of the iceberg in the end. The people on the outside could not understand it and the people on the inside could not enter.
